Beautiful 81. James Park.

This park will be entered through a
magnificent gateway of sculptured
stone, rivaling the famous Arc de
1riomphe of Paris, illuminated at
night by refulgent chandeliers. 1t is
becoming certain that this beautiful
spot will be adorned by the most cost
ly residences yet erected on this coast.
Our readers will remember the beauti-
full 81. James Park in London, crowded
with exquisite villas, on which the IL
, tied aristocracy of Great Britain have
lavished all that taste and luxury
could devise. 1t is the intention OF
the owners of the delightful square in
our good city of the Queen of the An
gels to reproduce, under fairer skies
and more lofty surroundings, this chef
d'@uvre of European landscape beauty.
The streets throughout the park will be
laid with bituminous rock, with ce-
ment sidewalks, gas and water on each
and every lot, ample sewage and a
beautiful drive entering from Adams
street. One acre is reserved as pleas :
ure ground in the center with FOUR
tain of ornate design and will belong
to the purchasers forever. Improve-
ments are being ddpdnced Utth great
rdpidity. 1t will be an advantage to
secure lots in this delightful retreat at
an early day, as the number to be sold
is limited. Maps of the ,0hoie can be
seen at the office of j. w. Green & CO., +,
11S West First street, Nadeau Block,
agents.

Reason for a ROOm.

The great fruit refrigerator cars that
daily pass from South California to the
eastern country are steadily carrying
away the choice and abundant crops
of fruit that here grow to perfection
and bring back to the fruit growers a
steady stream of gold and silver in ex-
change.
1t is this immense interchange OF
values that makes land valuable in
Southern California. The crops of Los
Angeles are perpetual. When oranges
yield lightly, lemons, lines and pome-
granates are good crop. If apples
are scarce citrus fruit is abundant, and
plums and peaches will load down the
trees. Nature is always rewarding in
this part of the country. There is such
a diversity of products that some pro-
duct always pays. Drouth has no ter
rors and cyclones have no fears among
the people. The peach and apricot
crop is this year paying from 5000 to
$500 per acre, to produce which costs
less than to raise wheat, that pays Sl5
per acre. Grain has to be sown annually
to be sure of good crop. To be sure
volunteer crops sometimes hold
the fort and the field for one or
three years, but that repetition of
crops without re-seeding cannot be
relied on.
When a farmer can make more
money from ten acres of fruit than he
can from 100 acres of grain, he will
most likely sell his ninety acres of
land and keep the ten acres. By that
plan he can have nine neighbors in
stead of none and together they can
act in concert lin the marketing of
their products. The plan of small
holdings in orchards, vineyards and
gardens is revolutionizing the state
and bringing wealth, prosperity and
abundant success to all parts of South
California.
1t is now settled by the average YER
dict of mankind that here in South
California the earth gives more gen.
erous return to intelligent labor than
in any other part of the world.
1t is not stated that the land yields
more abundant crop than in Central
America and other semi-tr ,pic states,
but it is a fact that a crop raised in Los
Angeles is nearer a profitable market
than the crops raised elsewhere and
therefore vastly more profitable to the
producer.
The crops of Central America, heavy
as they are, do not pay tithe of the
profit that is paid by the California
fruit crop. The population OF the city
and the home manufacturing demand
is growing larger every day. While
the people in the tropics and semi
tropics can produce as large a crop Of
fruit, they are so far from profitable
market that fruit growing is not half
so profitable there as here.
It is the profit of fruit growing that
establishes the value of the land, and
the result of the present crop seems to
add to all preconceived values.

SoTH PASADENA, Sept. 3,

SoTH PASADENA, Sept. 3, 1887.
EDITOR HERALD The Pathological
Society of Los Angeles county will
soon open its annual exhibit of the
products of this county. The
members have made unusual
efforts to secure the best ex-
hibit ever made in this county
and offer premium list worthy OF the
occasion. They have decided to
donate one-half of the proceeds to
the G. A. r. fund, and the entire ex-
hibit of products as far as in order
will also be added to the st. Louis ex-
hibit. For these reasons they are en-
titled to generous patronage. The
people OF all Southern California have
been invited to furnish every variety
of local products, both natural and
cultivated, for the st. Louis exhibit,
and the Santa Fe road generously
offer to transport the same. The G.
A. r. Committee volunteer to pro-
vide the largest hall in st. Louis and
display all these products free of ex-
pense to the donors, and only ask that
each locality furnish generous ex-
hibit. They now expect car load
from Fresno county. Pomona, Ana
helm and orange have each indicated
that they will furnish as much. The
Nadeau vineyard will send car load
OF grapes to be given away. Fred
Allies. uf the Rural CnIifOrpi0u. piyes
ton of Tokays for the same purpose,
and other localities promise to do as
we'll. Now is the time to move in this
matter. Let us show by this display
that our statements are truthful, that
we have the best and most varied
products of any part of the United
States.
and in no way can we so perfectly
illustrate this fact as by a splendid ex-
hibit of our fruits. Let us also show
our raw material and thereby invite
the manufacturer who may be looking
for a location. Show them that we
have coal, asphaltum, petroleum, fire
clays, granite, sandstone, porphery,
marble, shells, as well as gold and sil-
yer ores in abundance. These, with
canned goods, dried fruits and all i'm
perishable products, should be put on
permanent exhibit in the Exposition
building in St. Louis after our exhibit
is over. Let every man who wishes
for our continued prosperity do his
part to carry forward this work and it
will be great success.

Another silver rsonanza.'

S. r. Hinkle, well-known miner.
presents the HERALD with a beautiful
specimen of horn and virgin silver
taken from the Rural mine in Mojave
county Arizona, some sixty miles
from The Needles, full account of
the discovery of which was noticed in
the HERALD in June last. This dis
covery, as will be remembered was
made in June last by Mike Dunn and
T. j. Christy. Dunn sold out for
$40, 900 before there was any develop
ment. Since he sold out the COM
pany have taken out fifty tons of
metal which have been sent to the re-
duction works. This sample is from
three hundred ponnd shipment to
San Francisco that yielded $3.50 or
the equivalent of over SIG, 900 per ton.
The outlook for this mine is that it
will soon be one OF the largest bullion
producing mines ON the coast not ex-
cepting the bonanzas OF Zacateras,
Gaudalajura or even the ancient and
productive mines of chihuahua the
receipts of which have not been sur
passed by the most opulent mines of
India. The HERALD congratulates
these energetic gentleman in their
find and its profitable development.
